Tricking out the Montesa: Part 1

Posted by Dan on 19/06/2008 to Bikes and Trials photos

After spending a lot of time thinking, I finally decided to get rid of the Gasser and jump back on the Montesa 4RT. The last time I was riding one was 06 and we did a lot of trickery to it and really made it something a bit original.

I’ve started off with the basics. The wheels.

This is the bike as it arrived.

Yesterday I put on the red wheels, which have black hubs and trick wavy disks on as you can see below.

Gas Gas 4-stroke photos

Gas Gas have finally shown off their much anticipated 4-stroke model at the recent Milan show. You can see them here.

I can’t wait to get hold of more details regarding the bike spec. I can’t see any mention of these details, not even engine capacity, which would be nice to know. No mention on when to expect these bikes to hit the market either, although I can’t… continue reading...

Sherco taking legal action

Posted by Dan on 06/10/2007 to Links and Bikes

Earlier this week Sherco released this statement regarding the launch of “a trials motorcycle that is practically identical” to that of their own. I said back around the launch of the new machine that it reminded me a lot of the Sherco. It looks as though Sherco are preparing legal action so it’s anyones guess as to what will happen.
